There had been an unusual number of 911 calls over the past couple of days and Bogo had pretty much everyone working overtime. That included the newest officers, and Nick Wilde, first fox officer of the Zootopia Police Department, was no exception.
He had been helping get some of the paperwork all filed away, but as soon as Judy arrived, they were going to head out to take the statement of one Mrs. Abigail Equus. Hers had been one of the calls that had been determined to be a non-emergency, but they still wanted to make sure that they took down a statement.
She had said something to the dispatcher about a different landscape outside the wall, and that she could see strange, unnatural creatures. There had been a bunch of similar calls, in the past couple of days, and they were checking them all out.
Nick had noticed the strange mist surrounding Zootopia, but he chalked it up to the new mayor trying out different weather patterns. But if all of these mammals calling into the ZPD were to be believed, well, they weren't in the Meadowlands anymore. It was most likely something they'd all eaten, but they couldn't just ignore all of the similar calls.
The fox finished up his last bit of paperwork with a flourish, and headed out to chat with Clawhauser while he waited for his partner.
Turns out, life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker.

It had been an odd couple of days in Zootopia. Mammals were panicking over everything, from 'the weather is behaving strangely' to 'my fur always stands on end when something bad is going to happen.' Judy wanted to chalk it up to just a bunch of nervous numbats, but she had to admit, the nervous energy had been building up in the past week and was starting to get to her.
Keeping her nerves bundled up somewhere in the back of her mind, the rabbit officer was quickly wrapping up the last of the follow-ups in Little Rodentia-- She had taken over for McHorn, seeing as it was way easier for her to get on their level... literally-- and was well on her way to hurrying back to the ZPD building.
Pushing past the heavy doors at the front of the building, Judy bounded her way up to the front desk, giving a quick wave in Clawhauser's direction before turning to Nick, who seemed to have fallen into the natural rhythm of police work like he was born for it.
"A little bit of weird weather, and mammals start thinking the sky is falling. Crazy, right? Ready to get going?"

Before he'd made it through the people waiting at the desk to talk to the rotund cheetah, the fox's Leporidae partner in un-crime appeared. She was doing a pretty good job of hiding it, but he could tell that this nervous energy was starting to get to her. Truth be told, it would be getting to him too, if things got to him anymore. (Okay, things got to him more than they had, before a certain bunny had walked into his life, but he still had some pretty high walls.)
"Wasn't there some movie where that happened?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, his signature smirk spread across his face. "Only it turned out to be aliens or something," Nick offered with a half-shrug. "I'm kinda surprised we haven't gotten any of those calls. Today, anyway." From what he'd heard, there had been one or two mammals who had called the station in a panic because they believed they'd been abducted by something other-worldly.
He brought himself to his full height of four feet, slipping his sunglasses onto his face to shield his eyes from the bright afternoon sun that they would soon be venturing into.
"Why, Officer Hopps, I'm shocked," he said in mock offense. "Shouldn't you know that I'm always ready?" he quipped, his expression quickly morphing into that grin of his again. He paused for a moment, then added, "Okay, that's not quite true; I am not ready for Skunk Pride Day."That had been fun, if you enjoyed bathing copiously in tomato juice. And even that hadn't worked, for how sensitive his nose was. It had taken him weeks to get rid of the smell.
Hopefully, today would be much less of an assault on the olfactory system and more of a pleasant discussion of why Mrs. Equus thought that the world was ending.

Her comment earned her a fanged smirk and a casual remark, and Judy found herself taking a moment to think back to the movie in question, something about a kid chicken and aliens... She'd only caught half of it with her siblings before she'd dozed off from boredom.
Shaking the thoughts off, she settled her paws on her hips and grinned back at Nick's sassed remarks. He may have been the sort who could handle anything outwardly, but she knew a few ways to throw him off his 'cool-guy' act. Today just wasn't the day, not with the way the phones had been ringing nearly constantly.
As if on cue, the phone on the desk went off, Judy flattening her ears against her head in response to the sudden sound and losing her own remark about Skunk Pride day.
"Always ready, my foot." She gave a roll of her eyes, but gestured for him to follow her out to where the left the cruiser waiting. "That act may work on some mammals, but I like to think I know you a bit better than that by now."
Throwing open the driver's side door, Judy hopped up onto the seat, doing her best to keep her scrambling to a minimum. She refused to use a step-ladder, as more than one officer had offered her on more than one occasion. She tried to feign an air of dignity... and she'd only actually fallen out of the car once, so.

The movie he'd been referring to wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't a masterpiece. At least it had been mostly believable, unlike some of the other things the same studio put out. (Some of those mythological creatures were just too strange to be believed, but hey, if it brought in the audience, he supposed they'd keep making those sorts of movies.)
Before he could offer another retort, the phone rang. Judy's ears flattened to her head at the sudden noise, and Nick's pressed backward, as well. His hearing wasn't as good as Judy's, but it was still better than the average mammal. Which made sudden shrill noises the opposite of pleasant (they were un-pleasant).
Nick lifted an eyebrow once more at Judy's comment, and he couldn't help the smirk that slipped onto his face. "And here I thought we'd been going to interview a witness, not to track down that illegal 'lucky rabbit's foot' trading circle," he quipped. "Though you really shouldn't be on that case, if you think about it, not that that will stop you." Not that anyone (except Bogo, probably, considering he was the Chief and all) was going to tell her not to take the cases she felt a need to tackle head on.
He offered her a little shrug, and followed her out to the cruiser, crossing his arms over his chest as he watched her scramble into the driver's seat.
"One of these days, you're gonna bruise more than just your pride, Carrots," he commented off-handedly. "But, I can't say that I'd do any differently, so I can't really judge." That was a lie; he could judge, but in this case, he kept it to a minimum. Nick knew what it was like to be a small-ish mammal around lots of larger animals, after all.
"All righty," the fox started once he'd climbed into the cruiser himself, "Mrs. Equus lives on Horseshoe Lane, just outside the Meadowlands," he told his partner, checking the information they'd been given. This could either go really smoothly or be a potentially bumpy interview. But whether that had to do with Judy's driving or Mrs. Equus' statement remained to be seen.
Turns out, life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker.

"Someone seems to have adjusted my seat while it was in the lot," She started, shooting a glance in his direction as she felt along the side of the seat for the small lever, "And, golly, I wonder who that would have been?"
Her tone was laced with sarcasm, but her expression still held a teasing smile in Nick's direction. Really, in all likelihood, no one had moved her seat but herself, but it seemed the sort of thing that he would have done. Once she was contented with the positioning again, she started the cruiser and tapped the address into the GPS.
"Horseshoe Lane," She clarified, leaning over in her seat and putting a paw on the console in order to peer at the information Nick had jotted down. Content that she had it all in correctly, she dropped back down onto her seat.
The drive to the Meadowlands took barely any time at all, and soon the cruiser was pulling up in front of the small house belonging to one Mrs. Equus. Putting the car in park, Judy dug out the complaint form that had been filled out for Mrs. Equus, skimming over the information so she would have a better idea about what they were seeing her about.
"Another disturbance call? Anything in particular, or just more of the 'mist, loud noises, sky is falling?'"
As soon as Judy had managed to scramble into the cruiser, she shot a glance in his direction, practically accusing him of readjusting her seat. In all actuality, Nick hadn't had anything to do with her seat, so he just shrugged, his trademark smirk on his face.
"Wasn't me," he said, his smirk broadening. "Maybe you should gather more evidence before you start accusing mammals, Hopps," Nick mock-scolded. "Or you're likely to end up with Mrs. Peacock in the conservatory with the rope when it was Colonel Moustard in the Library with the lead pipe."
The drive to the Medowlands was actually rather smooth and uneventful (a fact that Judy was sure to reference later, Nick knew, citing it as one more successful drive on her record), and before too long, they were pulling up in front of the house that belonged to Mrs. Equus.
Nick had been about to climb out of the cruiser to head right inside, but Judy stopped him. He shrugged at her question, glancing down at the paper in his hands. "Sounds like more of the mist, loud noises, sky is falling......and she's apparently seen some really weird creatures that have only been heard of in myths." Though whether she thought she was seeing dinosaurs (good one, movie people) or unicorns (which were slightly more believable), he couldn't exactly say.
"Want me to lead on this one, partner?" he asked, and his smirk was back. He knew full well that she would probably want to be the one taking point, but hey, it never hurt to ask.
Turns out, life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker.
Post by Judy Hopps on Nov 9, 2016 15:23:11 GMT -5
"Mythological creatures?" She echoed, her head leaning slightly to the side as she tried to process this. It wasn't the weirdest thing she'd heard called in to the ZPD, but it was definitely up there. Before she had any chance to ask if he'd gotten any further information than 'creatures from myths,' he came back at her with a question.
Okay, so, she took the lead... a lot. She didn't mean to, but she was the senior officer, if only by a few months. And Nick had a tendency to stick to his smooth talking ways, which usually meant a lot of underhanded compliments and talking too quickly for people to sneak a word in edgewise.
Still, she'd missed her coffee break this morning filling in for McHorn, and Nick was smirking like he was fully intending the statement to be a joke, so she figured she could get her amusement in somehow.
"Actually, Nick, I think that's an excellent idea." She gave him a little smile, pushing the door open with her foot before hopping out, "Your intermammal skills still need some work, anyway. We can call it you getting experience."
She flashed him a quick wink to show her teasing intent before closing the door, waiting for him to head up the drive to the front door.
{ intermammal... I tried to Zootopia-ize 'interpersonal' but it didn't really work as smoothly as I hoped. }
Nick adjusted his sunglasses once more, taking a quick peek over them at his partner. It was clear that Judy didn't quite know what to make of the call they'd been sent on, and that made two of them. Of course, given the week they'd had, this was par for the course, really, and Nick had a feeling they were both getting used to the unusual, by now.
Still, he hadn't really been expecting Judy to tell him to take the lead, and his momentary surprise showed on his face before he managed to smooth his expression into something of a grin.
"I have excellent intermammal skills," he retorted, "You just want me to work more on the police-type intermammal skills." After all, he was pretty good at getting other mammals to talk to him, to tell him what they knew. Of course, he didn't always stick to the textbook ways of getting them to open up to him.
But he figured, as long as it was legal, it shouldn't matter how they got the information, right? Still, he was apparently taking the lead on this case, which meant he needed to....., well, lead them to the door.
Judy climbed out of the cruiser, and Nick followed suit, pulling his notebook out of his belt. He carried a regular pen, though they tended to still bring the carrot pen, when they thought it could be useful, though it had more sentimental value than most pens. Nick headed up to the door, let out a deep breath, and knocked.
"ZPD," he called. "We're here in response to a distress call."
Turns out, life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker.
Post by Judy Hopps on Oct 29, 2017 23:12:07 GMT -5
Ohh, she saw that! Sincere surprise on Nick Wilde's face, what a treat! It wasn't every day she actually got to throw him--- or at least, it wasn't every day that he let her know he'd been thrown. She let that pleased, take-that-you-sly-fox feeling warm her up inside as she gave a quick eye roll in reply to his comments of his 'excellent' intermammal skills. She could just as quickly point out all the quick asides from Bogo that said otherwise, but figured he didn't need her beating on his confidence before a house call.
Following Nick up the walk with a smile on her face, Judy decided it was best not to comment on the ridiculously serious breath Nick took before just knocking on the door. Instead, she faced forward with a smile, waiting for the door to open.
Waiting.
Still waiting.
Okay, maybe it was a rabbit thing, but the waiting around really was the worst part. Ears perking, she couldn't help but try to listen for any signs of movement in the house. "You don't think she went out after calling, do you?" Pulling the report out of her back pocket, she skimmed the details, making certain they had the correct house, "911 said she sounded pretty freaked out, so you'd think she would just stay put..."
Hopping back down the steps, Judy peered up the drive that lead around the side of the house, frowning. "You stay here and keep trying. I'm going to peek around back, see if she's... outside." That really was thinking positive. Yeah, maybe Ms. Equus just called ZPD, then went to do some gardening! Heck, it sounded like what her parents would have done.
Then again, her parents were farmers, not crazy old ladies who reported the sky falling because of a few little earthquakes, but still.

He would be lying if he said that he hadn't expected Mrs. Equus to open the door pretty much right away, with how .... concerned she'd sounded, calling in. Of course, that was a nice way of putting it; she had sounded pretty freaked out, from what he'd overheard of the call. Which was why they were here, to gather as much information as possible about the cause of distress, and do what they could to reassure her that all would be well. Not that he knew that everything would be okay, but they wouldn't exactly be telling any citizens that; there was enough panic without the ZPD causing more, thank you very much.
Nick nodded at Judy's words, reaching up to knock again, but before he could, before his partner had gone very far, the door was wrenched open, to reveal a very anxious-looking palomino. Her dark mane was pulled back, a pair of glasses firmly placed on her nose.
"What do you want?" she asked, peering out through the open door. "You can't be with the police department."
"Afternoon, ma'am," Nick said, offering her the most pleasant smile he could muster as he pulled out his badge. "We are, we're from the ZPD, and we're here in response to a distress call. Would you mind answering a few questions for us?"
"You can't be with the ZPD; you're a fox," Mrs. Equus said, point blank, frowning. "The last officer that came to me was Officer McHorn; I had been hoping he'd be the one coming out."
Nick was no stranger to prejudice; he'd just been hoping that the uniform and badge would have helped mitigate that. But he didn't let any of his thoughts show on his face, just offered Mrs. Equus another pleasant smile. "I'm sorry, ma'am; Officer McHorn is on assignment elsewhere, but my partner and I will be happy to do what we can to assist." He knew the Meadowlands were slightly outside the city, but he hadn't realized that the mentality was so different.
Turns out, life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker.

Judy was barely at the edge of the driveway when she heard the doorknob turn, ears swiveling backward before she turned to look over her shoulder at the door. Nick was quick to jump into his pleasant-police-officer voice, but anyone who knew him well would catch that hesitation. Even after everything, to get those comments. ..
A short breath escaped the rabbit, trying to ignore the feeling like someone had given her a swift kick in the gut. Really, if her parents out in the sticks could get over this backwards mentality, why couldn't the rest of Zootopia get with the program? Taking a moment to decide whether or not to jump in, Judy silently walked back up the walkway to stand a short ways behind Nick.
She knew how it felt to be second guessed at every opportunity. "I'm fairly certain that two of the ZPDs most decorated officers can handle a home check, Ms. Equus."Oh. That wasn't like her, and violet eyes darted over to meet Nick's. It seemed they were rubbing off on each other. Quickly clearing her throat, Judy brightened her smile, "You said you were seeing strange creatures from over the wall. Can you take us to see what exactly you were seeing?"
